Review

As a medical student from the USA, I had the opportunity to travel to Malawi through Helping Your Community Forum (HYCF), David's organization, to participate in a medical internship at Karonga District Hospital. This experience was truly eye-opening and rewarding.

From the moment I arrived, David and his team made me feel welcome and supported. They ensured a smooth transition into the hospital setting, where I worked alongside local healthcare professionals to gain hands-on experience in patient care.

The internship was well-organized, and I was impressed by the dedication of the hospital staff despite limited resources. I was exposed to various cases, including tropical diseases and emergency situations, which broadened my medical knowledge and skills.

What struck me most was the warm hospitality of the Malawian people and the resilience of the community. Despite facing numerous challenges, they maintain a positive spirit and strong sense of community.
This internship has had a profound impact on my medical career and personal growth. I left Malawi with unforgettable memories, new skills, and a deeper understanding of global healthcare challenges. If you're passionate about medicine and cultural exchange, I highly recommend this program.
Thank you, David and HYCF, for an unforgettable experience! Your dedication to community development and supporting international interns is truly inspiring.
